YouTube Cats Releasing Digital Single
News from TokyoGraph:
Japan’s “neko boom” has reached new levels, as the country will soon see the 5-cat group MUSASHI’S release its first digital single. The cats have been signed with major talent agency Stardust Promotion to “sing” a cover of “Hotaru no Hikari,” a folk song set to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne” that is commonly sung at graduation ceremonies.
MUSASHI’S – made up of five Norwegian Forest Cats named Musashi, Leo, Luka, Seri, and Marble – gained worldwide internet fame at the end of last year when their owner released a YouTube video of the cats’ rendition of “Jingle Bells.”
As the cats have little use for money, their contract with Stardust is said to include about 7,000 yen worth of tuna.
